You know, when you’re going to be sitting at a desk, it’s prudent to put a skirt along the. Backside.
Instead it’s like they wanted people to notice because, you know, the giant red circle that wasn’t even photoshopped in…
Hahaha holy shit your right
Whoa, we need to go deeper.
Ew.
You can go deeper 😉
Said no one ever. In this context.
I hope he loses Georgia again for the electoral college
As a Georgian, I hope he loses again because the motivation for that might go down ballot too. Fuck em.
Those two senators aren't on the ballot this year right?
No, neither of them are. Senate terms are for 6 years, and Warnock came in on a special election to finish a term, then ran again to get a full term which he won, so those seats are safe a little longer. Still, our state house is dominated by Republicans, so it would be nice to have some better representation in the state.
If the Georgia legislature turns even somewhat more blue that could start a cascade around the state that might spread to the surrounding states. Atl please, for me your son who moved across the country for work
I hate it when he says things like Brian Kemp is a bad guy, because that’s objectively a true statement but not for the reasons he says them
As the trope goes, even Hitler loved dogs.
The only way to be wrong about everything is to know what the right thing is and deliberately choose the wrong thing. So even Trump will be right occasionally.
“He’s a bad guy. He’s a disloyal guy. And he’s a very average governor,” Trump said. “Little Brian, little Brian Kemp. Bad guy.”
To the orange asshole ...
He's a bad guy. He's a disloyal guy. And he's a very average rapist. Weird Donnie, weird Donnie Drumpf. Bad guy.
He really does like calling people "little." Weird for someone who wears lifts.
Projection. Every accusation is a confession is pretty much true.
I don't know. That would mean he has a bird brain and parrots and corvids are pretty smart.
In fact, I have a feeling an African Grey wouldn't have much trouble with "Man. Woman. Person. TV. Camera." either.

Just tell it that it will get a pistachio.
The video made me smile, thank you.
Projection isn't a well-thought strategy, generally; rather it's an emotional reaction geared by instinctive drives by the same mechanism that triggers the fight/flight/freeze/fawn reaction. So intellectual acuity isn't really a factor, in most people. In those who would use well thought projection, it doesn't bode well for the target, but that's a whole other topic, but it happens. Ed Bernays used it in marketing and politics, there are interesting docos about it on YT If you're interested.
Anyway, this is just plain survival instinct, in someone who didn't learn proper coping/self-nurturing techniques as a child, adult or anywhere else along the way, which is unfortunate, as his family had the money to help him acquire the skills necessary, probably because it would have undermined the family dynamics that very well served the patriarch, who did have an intelligent Machiavellian personality disorder, which again, is a whole other topic, the main point being in most people, personality disorders are acquired as a survival mechanism, to grossly oversimplify.
Think less of a corvid, more of a finch.
Even then... At least when finches brag it's because they did a really good job making their nest.
They do the construction themselves, unlike Trump.
Brian Kemp really is a bad guy. He was Secretary of State, overseeing Georgia's elections when he ran for governor against a popular Democrat. He is blatantly corrupt, but just doesn't want to hitch his wagon to the Trump train for some reason.
Trump is berating him about unity. Sounds cultish.
said Kemp should be “fighting Crime, not fighting Unity and the Republican Party.”
Trump assailed Kemp in a roughly 10-minute tirade, blaming him ... for not stopping a local district attorney from prosecuting him and several associates for his efforts to overturn the results.
Sounds about right.
I see unity is working.
"Unity" = blind loyalty and obedience to Trump
That it works so often is cause for bought of despair.
“He’s a bad guy. He’s a disloyal guy. And he’s a very average governor,” Trump said. “Little Brian, little Brian Kemp. Bad guy.”
Disloyal. Worship me and support whatever I say or do, no matter what. Else you are bad. Nothing else matters.
